More about this scene
This area was called Crouche in 1400; the name derives from Old English 'cruc' or cross, but does this mean cross-roads or near to the cross? It is a rarity among North London centres in that it stands well away from underground and railway stations, which may or may not account for the survival of such very fine groups of late 19th-century and Edwardian buildings as fill this photograph. The quirky terracotta and brick Clock Tower was designed by F G Knight 1805. Crouch End possesses two of London's outstanding late 19th-century pubs, the Queens Hotel and the Salisbury.
